Sanctuary - Side 2
Distance Is A Bitch
Today is the day the boys and I are due to leave for our three week long tour in the UK and it would be the longest I would be without Abby since that unfortunate night. I had a feeling that I was going to worry the entire time I’m gone despite how well she may be. There is a nine hour time difference and I have to think about when I would be able to speak to her.
“You realize how much this is gonna suck?” she asked.
“We’ll get through it like we always have.”
“I know, but still.”
“I get what you’re saying and I agree.”
We were sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to be called. Ten minutes later as she was lying her head on my shoulder, I heard the flight being called. We got up and I wrapped my arms around her.
“I love you.” I said, kissing her.
“I love you, too.”
She wrapped her arms around my neck and melted into the kiss.
“Alex! Come on! We need to go.” Rian shouted.
I gave him the middle finger then groaned once we separated.
“Stay safe and be a good boy. Well, as good as you can be. Text me when you guys arrive. Ok?”
I laughed.
“Ok. Be happy and stay safe. I’m gonna miss you.”
“I’m gonna miss you, too.”
“Alex!”
Rian shouted again.
Shut the fuck up, Rian.
“I’m coming!”
She laughed.
“Ok. I gotta go. Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
And with one last kiss, I was gone. The flight was so long and all I could about was Abby and I also fell asleep. When the plane landed, I saw a text from Abby.
Guess who misses you! We love you! Goodnight!
It was a picture of her with Baz and Peyton lying on our bed; I smiled. When I was able to text her, I did so.
Made it here safely. I miss all of you and love you! P.S. I hope I didn’t wake you.
I sent an adorable picture from my phone as well. I hoped she had a great first day without me.
